Fabric & Materials
FABRIC RECOMMENDATIONS: medium stretch knit fabric made from natural or blended fibers.
CUTTER'S MUST
IF THE PATTERNS HAVE A DOUBLE CONTOUR, THEY INCLUDE SEAM ALLOWANCES. IF THE CONTOUR IS SINGLE, THE PATTERNS DO NOT INCLUDE SEAM ALLOWANCES. SEAM ALLOWANCES: neckline allowance for back and front - 1.5 cm; hem allowance for garment and sleeve hem - 2.0 cm; other allowances - 0.7 cm. ATTENTION! FIRST, PRINT OUT THE PAPER PATTERNS AND LAY THEM OUT ON THE FABRIC WIDTH (fabric width can be from 90 cm to 150 cm) TO DETERMINE HOW MUCH MATERIAL YOU WILL NEED. WHEN STITCHING PIECES, PAY ATTENTION TO THE NOTCHES - THEY MUST MATCH!

Sewing Instructions
Tip: Knit fabric pieces are stitched with a special elastic or narrow zigzag stitch. When serging, trim allowances to 0.7 cm. The hem allowance is topstitched with a twin needle to maintain elasticity. You can also stitch pieces directly on a 3- or 4-thread overlocker.
- Stitch the center seam of the upper back, press allowances open and serge. Stitch the center seam of the lower back together with the vent down to the hem. Press allowances and vent to the left side and serge. Topstitch the vent allowances along the upper edge with a machine stitch.
- Stitch shoulder seams, press allowances open and serge.
- Serge the neckline and wrap-around edge. Press allowance to the wrong side and topstitch.
- Along the lower edge of the upper front part, stitch with a loosely tensioned thread in the section from the wrap-around to the first mark. Gather the fabric. Overlap the right part onto the left, align edges and secure.
